Why is this PC going slow?

I know, I'm messing with you.

I was mentioning that WDDM 2.0 is not friendly with older versions of DirectX (which is driver related). The new driver architecture makes it harder to write fast drivers for old DirectX, plus the hardware isn't optimized for such old games anymore. That's basically what I was trying to say. This is why I like having a retro gaming PC and a Win7 install so I can avoid these issues as much as possible.

See? I told you that this thread would be worth it.

One final solution (for Morrowind). Maybe you could try WINE. That should redirect Direct3D8 calls to OpenGL, and NV's OpenGL drivers are much better.

Shogun.

WINE? On Windows? I though that was a Linux exclusive, though.

Don't be a dick, OK? It's free and it's a helluva lot better than Vista, so unless you have information that can help my issue, fuck off.

First, please try to be civil. You may not find a comment useful, but that's no reason to be offensive.

Second, TheComet actually raised a valid point. Windows 10 really needs more than 2Gb of RAM to run well. And has already been mentioned, it's emulating the DX version you need so will be slower than running the game on an older Windows version. You would get much better performance if you used Vista.

1. I'm not being offensive. There's a difference between being offensive and being honest.

2. No, I wouldn't get better performance with Vista, because Vista is the worst OS in history.

If that's what you actually believe (for both points) then please just stop posting.

You are absolutely being offensive. I've already warned you privately about it, but now I'm warning you publicly. Telling somebody to "fuck off" is rude and has an extremely high degree of likelihood to offend them and others. It is nowhere near the civility bar we expect from our members.
Don't do it again.
